CRIMINALISATION|OF PROTEST On 26 September 2012 Trenton Oldfield was found guilty of the ancient and largely unused law of 'public nuisance'. He was charged for his direct action protest against the rising and unjust inequalities being exacerbated by government cuts and the culture of elitism in the UK.
Trenton will be sentenced on 19 October 2012 at Isleworth Crown Court. A conviction for 'public nuisance' can result in life in prison. Bear witness to the sentencing or sign up for the campaign to end the criminalisation of protest. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

 THIS IS NOT A ... | MAGRITTE LIVES!
There are a number of wonderful 'This Is Not A...' that each, in their own way, extend Rene Magriette's 1928 series of paintings The Treachery of Images as they attempt to problemetise agreed meanings and realities. This gallery contains some of our favourites. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
